October 5, 200223 yr Hi,Wrestling with the following:1. A red warninglight must come on when temperature is below 0*C2. That is the moment i want to press the deice switches: wings, engines 1 and 2.3. The light must then go off and vice versa (switch on-light off, switch off-light on.4. Temp. above 0*C a green light must come and stay on, as a warning to disconnect the deice switches. Who can help me with some advice?I tried a lot of combinations.Could only find switches for eng-deice, not for wings.Know the strings for OAT,TAT, but could not code the interdepence of Temp, and the actions (lights on/off)Thanks in advance,PH-JVH Jan "Beatus ille qui procul negotiis..."
October 5, 200223 yr Hi Ph-jvh,The easiest way to do this, is by using a visible code in the Warning light.Just an example:(A:Total air temperature, celsius) 0 < (A:General eng1 anti ice position,bool) 0 == &&With the above code the Warning Light is visible if the temperature is below 0
October 5, 200223 yr MatthiasThanks for the effort.Pity, the gauge crashes. Something to do with code?Here it is:(A:Total air temperature, celsius) 0 < (A:General eng1 anti ice position,bool) 0 == &&Tryed so hard to add and eliminate, but failed.Other solution?PH-JVH Jan "Beatus ille qui procul negotiis..."
October 6, 200223 yr Hi MatthiasAfter more effort something starts to work.For all interested people, here is the code:(A:General eng1 anti ice position,bool) 0 == (A:Total air temperature, celsius) 10 <=(A:General eng1 anti ice position,bool) 1 == The signs before the first alter in the forum!!!!Hope it helps someone, like it did me.PH-JVH Jan "Beatus ille qui procul negotiis..."
October 6, 200223 yr Author Since you seemed to have gotten your gauge going, I would like to point out that waiting until the temperature hits 0deg C before turning on anti-ice functions is not a good thing for safe aviation. In fact, it is probably way too late!! Bill Sieffert
October 6, 200223 yr Hi,Thanks for the help and comments.I am still confused by the different presentations of the gauge-operators.I know, that in a moisterous environment and temperatures up to 30*C, you can have engine ice.For the simulation I use 10*C for the engines and 5 for the wings.I wonder: how many Toggle's are there for deicing beside the 4 for the engines and the general one.The general anti-ice toggle clicks the engine-toggles also on and off.Is there a way to bypass this phenomenon?Thanks in advance.PH-JVH Jan "Beatus ille qui procul negotiis..."
